My colleague used my managers computer and read emails about my disciplinary - I didn’t want anyone to know about it.

Posting on behalf of a friend

I recently posted here about an investigation meeting into my attendance. I have a long term health condition that affects my immune system and work in a factory. Just for reference, I have a contract and I have no sick pay, only SSP but the staff employed by the same company who work in the office do get sick pay. Anyway, the investigation has led to disciplinary meeting and disciplinary action.

My colleague who also works on the factory floor sometimes uses the managers computer and has access to my managers emails. Yesterday I saw her reading the emails containing confidential information about my disciplinary and I didn’t want anyone to know about it. I know that she often goes through the managers emails without his knowledge, she took photos of some emails on her phone in the past.

I didn’t want anyone to know about my disciplinary or my health issues. I didn’t confront her at the time and we don’t really get on. I’m now very upset that she has seen this information.

What can I do about it?

I’m in England.

Thank you.
